Below are some of my blog articles about the POS fixie I built for myself.

Building my Fixed gear:

1. My obsession (started as a SS then became fixed)
2. My Resolution (what I wanted to do)
3. Building A Fixie Part I (what I did)
4. Building A Fixie Part II (what I did)
5. Building A Fixie Part III (what I did)
6. Finished Product
7. Building Advice
8. Style

But that was a while ago now thinking about it:

• Don't crappy cranks such as Kooka cranks (now defunct). They will break.
• If I catch you with a QR I get to smack you
• Get a bottom bracket that can be adjusted latterly (i.e. NOT shimano). This lets you fine tune the chain line
• Don't be a weight weenie, build it like a tank because you are just going to steam roll what ever is in your way on a fixie. For example, build it with a track chain and cog
• Don't skimp out on the contact points (seat, handle bar etc) I am sure you know this but I thought I would state it for others
• Ghettoize it with some electrical tape so some hipster doesn't kick your ass and take your pretty soma
